Le Tour De France

DIE LANCE ARMSTRONG DIE!
FYI! He used steroids! That's what I believe anyway! Because, the only way you can get testicular cancer it through steroids! GRRRR!!!!!! Although, I will be the first to admit he is a very good cycleist. Which is precisely why I don't want him to win. And I just don't like pulling for the same person everyone else is pulling for. Wheres the fun in that? I'm rueting for David Zbriske or sumthin like that it's pronounced Za-Brisk-ee so yessers! OH and for Yan Ulrich! Ul-rick! However, Dave is from AMERICA so that's good! And, in the team time trials something very sad happened. He had the yellow jersey for three days. Meaning he was winning for three days. Let me explain Team Time Trials. The entire team of about 9 people race TOGETHER. The fifth person on your team to cross the finish line is the time they take for your entire team. So everyone rides together. However, lets say you can't keep up with your team. You drop out and the other 8 continue on without you. :( If you don't cross with your team you have to make your own time. They made a new rule this year though, that if you drop out 1 kilometer away from the finish line then, you get the same time as your team. Well, Dave Zbriske's team WAS KICKING BUTT! They were by far the fastest at each checkpoint! They were kicking Team Discovery's BEHIND. Team Discovery is Lance's team. They stagger the starts so that every team starts at a different time so people don't mess with one another. So Lance's team starts and they're like second to last to go, then Dave's team. Well, Lance finishes and Dave is coming up and they're still kicking booty. 1.5 km away from the finish line, Dave falls. HARD. He crashed SOMEHOW! They say his knee hit his elbow and he fell. He was litterally SLIDING across pavement! They ride REALLY close behind one another so he pulled his bike out of the way of his teammates with his feet as he's sliding on his bumoley. He gets back up obviously and his jersey is ripped to shreds and his shorts are ripped and he's a bloody mess. His team had to leave him though. And they have these people working for your team following in cars behind you, so they got him a new bike and he rode very gingerly. You could tell it was hard. By the end he stuck his bloody leg out to the side and coasted across the finish line. You could tell it was just hurting too much. So, we find out later he got stiches in his elbow, and had to get x-rays of his ribs and knee. :( HE'S SO HOT! His team finished TWO SECONDS AWAY FROM LANCE! I almost cried! But, Yan Ulrich came in third so, ah well. But Dave rode again yesterday and I didn't get to see how that went :( I'm going to check online! how sad!
Wow. this is a long one!
